Otherwise known as Cervical Radiculopathy.
It's been two-and-a-half weeks since it started, and I really don't know how to deal with it. The meds the doctor prescribed for me help a little, but not enough. I'm in near-constant pain. It's taking a toll on my productivity at work, and it's really damaging my relationship. I come home in the evening and my last nerve is just waiting...my temper has a VERY short fuse and I don't have the control I used to. My pain and fear and anger are pouring out all over my partner, who's got quite enough problems of his own. He doesn't need my crap.

I start physical therapy today, and I really hope that does something.

I just don't know how to keep myself reasonable, sane. This just hurts and hurts and doesn't let go. How can I stay calm when I want to scream and cry?
